    Local Windows Password


    I have trouble signing in using my local windows password since I've changed it to PIN option a long time ago. Recently, I tried launching a safe mode option but it is asking my local windows password Administrator password upon signing in. Is there any way that I can reset my password?

    :)

    • If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:
      • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
      • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
